Hi.

Im beginning to work with Hibernate and some things are confusing...
Why there's no something like Session.delete(Class type, Object id) ?

In my web app, in delet request I have been given ID of persisted object to be deleted, and I would like to do it in one DELETE command, but unfortunately I have to do one SELECT first to fecth this object (Session.load), and then DELETE it by Session.delete(object).

One question also, I noticed looking at sql commands issued by hibernate, when doing inserting new object, it first does SELECT hibernate_sequence.nextVal separately, and then does INSERT in following command, whereas placing sequenece incrementation inside INSERT would save us one round-trip, right?

Thanx,
Vjeran

1. there will be a delete(query) in H3
But you have to knwo that hibernate will load your objects anyway (due to cascading lifecycle etc etc)
2. use the sequence hilo generator if you absolutly need to minimize DB roundtrips on insert.
